About this Petition Petition Letter

Ban the export of greyhounds to Asia Campaign

Contact the following breeder and exporter of greyhounds to Asia

ROCKY RIDGE FARM

Background: Rocky Ridge Farm (RRF) is owned and operated by Sam Cauchi and his family at Calga in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. They have been involved in greyhound racing in Australia for nearly 40 years as trainers, trial track operators, and breeders. They have sent vast numbers of greyhounds to their deaths by exporting them for breeding /racing to SE Asia in particularly Macau and Korea
 
And :
To:  Australian federal Government

We the undersigned call upon the Australian federal government to ban the export of greyhounds to Asia.
The Australian greyhound racing industry is shamelessly promoting and encouraging greyhound racing in Asia. At present greyhounds are being exported from Australia to Asia to places such as Korea, Vietnam and China for the purpose of racing/breeding with further plans to create networks of tracks throughout Cambodia and the Philippines. These are countries notorious for the barbaric torture and slaughter of dogs for human consumption. There is no hope or opportunity of rehoming greyhounds that are 'surplus' to requirements in Asia. As exposed by the media they are ending their days being butchered in the dog meat industry or thrown into landfills. At present this is the fate of Australian greyhounds in Asia.

We urge you to take immediate action to protect the greyhounds of Australia from such a fate and ban the export of greyhounds to Asia.

Sincerely,

Stop the export of greyhounds to Asia.

Dear sir/madame

Dear Mr. Cauchi</p>
<p>I am writing to you regarding the export of greyhounds to Asia. I believe that you are directly responsible for sending vast numbers of greyhounds to Asia for racing and breeding.</p>
<p>As a breeder and trainer you must be aware of the high numbers of greyhounds that are disposed of by the racing industry in Australia when they become surplus to racing requirements. Only a very few dogs manage to find good homes. The majority of the greyhounds that are bred are unaccounted for.</p>
<p>You must also be aware that the conditions for greyhounds exported to Asia are by far worse then in Australia. There is no opportunity or hope of rehoming greyhounds in Asia. It has been reported by the media that many greyhounds in Asia in places such as Macau, Korea, Vietnam and China have either been discovered slaughtered in landfills or have ended their days in the barbaric dogmeat industry, suffering horrific cruelty along with other breeds of dogs, until they are finally butchered.</p>
<p>I urge you to reconsider your actions and stop exporting greyhounds to Asia. I look forward to hearing from you.

And

To:&nbsp; Australian federal Government</p>
